New Building Superintendent appointed BY RIKKI N. MASSAND Ausberto “Ozzie” Huertas, the superintendent of building for the village since 2015, resigned from his post in June to take a position as commissioner with the New York City Department of Buildings. At the start of the Board of Trustees’ July 10 meeting Mayor Brian C. Daughney made an announcement and thanked Huertas for his service in Garden City, as an agenda item for the trustees his successor would

be voted on in short time Tuesday night. “Ozzie is a quality guy with a lot of knowledge. It was not easy following in the footsteps of (37-year building superintendent) Mike Filippon, anytime you bring someone new in you get a lot of criticism and complaints just because you are trying out new stuff. He (Huertas) deserves credit as we greatly appreciate his work on the digitization of Building Department records, and that will greatly increase our department’s

productivity and clarity. We wish him good luck in the future,” Mayor Daughney said Tuesday night. Giuseppe Giovanello has worked in the Village of Garden City Building Department over the past 18 months and he served as assistant superintendent under Huertas. For Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi, the hiring process to replace Huertas after three years at the helm was simple: hiring from withSee page 39

With a concept plan for the St. Paul’s campus unveiled in front of a capacity crowd inside the Garden City Casino on July 17th, Garden City got a glimpse into what could be a future sports and recreation hub. Representatives of the Manhattan-based restorative architecture and structural engineering firms, Beyer Blinder Belle (BBB) and Thornton Thomasetti, along with Garden City Mayor Brian C. Daughney and Village Trustee Louis Minuto led the event, which was the first of several presentations sessions scheduled. In the audience Tuesday night were nearly all the executive staff members from the village, Town of Hempstead Supervisor Laura Gillen and over 200 residents, including all eight members of the Board of Trustees as well as members of the (volunteer) Architectural Design Review Board, a large contingent of past and current leaders of the Garden City Historical Society and the preservation director from Preservation Long Island. They listened as Beyer Blinder Belle’s Carlos Cardoso, AIA, partner and director of Construction Administration, spoke about the vision for the former St. Paul’s school, built in tribute to Garden City’s founder Alexander Turney Stewart, which was finished in 1883, juxtaposed with a modern community-oriented sports, recreation and “gameday” venue. While sports would be the largest component and land use, the facility concept included 50,000 square feet for potential theatre, dance and musical performance spaces; the possibility of a state-of-the-art S.T.E.M. lab and learning center for children, plus the Recreation Department offices and program rooms. Some images presented for the public were reminiscent of Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, as glass exterior siding would be in line with the original front facades of St. Paul’s, plus repurposed brick moved from the existing structure to the additions, as Cardoso said the brick components will match and no new brick would be ordered for See page 38

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

A good start

The long anticipated proposal for what to do with the St. Paul's main building is very interesting. It includes a fair amount of preservation, and seems to have the qualified approval from the Committee to Save St. Paul's, as long as significant portions of the building are preserved. To the extent that a sports and recreation center could become a community jewel that will enhance the value of living in the village, it is a good idea. We especially like the idea that it could be used for cultural and educational projects other than sports. (Believe it or not, not everyone is a sports fanatic in Garden City!) However (and this a really big "however"), in order to evaluate the proposal, the residents are really going to need

Email: Editor@GCNews.com

to get a ballpark figure on its costs, as well as an idea of what kind of revenues could offset the cost to operate it. Obviously, the project's cost is going to be determined by what the community desires to be built, but the community has to have some sense of what the costs would be for various options before a consensus can be reached. Perhaps the next step would be for the community to come back with a list of desires, and then have the architects give a rough idea of the costs of different options (keeping in mind that historic restoration can have a lot of surprise costs involved). In any case, we are glad to see that the grand old building may have some more life ahead of her, and won't be demolished by time and the elements.

Preserving an iconic structure

To the Editor: The Committee to Save St. Paul’s (CSSP) believes that the initial concept for the adaptive re-use of St. Paul’s, as presented to the residents by the Mayor and Trustee Minuto at the “town hall” meeting on July 17, 2018, represents a very positive first step in preserving this iconic structure and making it available for use by our entire community. The primary goal of CSSP has always been the preservation of the essential elements of the building and the meaningful use of the structure for the enjoyment of all the residents. As long as the trustees aim to preserve and restore a significant portion of the building and its historic elements, we will support that effort. There are many details that need to be clarified, and input from the residents should be pursued. Nevertheless, CSSP sees the Board’s presentation as a long-awaited move forward. We recognize that cost is a major concern. Like all our fellow residents, we will insist that the financial obligations and burden remain affordable and balanced for all taxpayers. Lastly, the presentation made it abundantly clear that the building has been dangerously neglected by the Village for many years. We echo residents’ comments at the July 17 presentation and call upon the Board to take immediate action to protect our community treasure and prevent further deterioration. Significant funds were allocated, but never spent, when St. Pauls’ was initially purchased for the purpose of protecting the building. CSSP calls on our trustees to accept their fiduciary responsibility and spend those monies now to protect this priceless Village asset and ensure the safety of the residents. Demolition by neglect is not an acceptable solution. Committee to Save St. Paul’s

Lack of fiduciary responsibility

To the Editor:

In reading the 12 July 2018 article in “New St. Paul’s plans to be revealed”, it appears there is a lack of fiduciary responsibility by some members of the Board of Trustees. I was heartened to read Deputy Mayor Trouvé questioned the additional $25,000 funds requested by Beyer, Blinder, Belle (BBB) for the rental of audio visual materials, printing, 3D imagery and movie / film imaging. All of the aforementioned costs could have and should have been estimated as part of BBB’s initial proposal, as is the norm for such proposals prepared by architectural and / or engineering firms. One would assume the Village would have requested an itemized breakdown of the costs as part of the initial proposals and not hope to know what the costs would be after the Village was invoiced as the Village Administrator imagined would happen. The Village website should have published the Request for Proposal (RFP), list of firms and fee proposals obtained to allow the citizens of Garden City to be informed of the actions taken by the Board of Trustees. I commend Deputy Mayor Trouvé’s questioning of the additional $25,000 request by BBB. However, the bigger question is, why are taxpayer dollars being used to explore conceptual designs for St. Paul’s when this issue has been vetted for more than 25 years by past Boards, Committees, architects, engineers and consultants and at far less cost than the already $125,000.00 the taxpayers of Garden City need to pony up for conceptual ideas. Why weren’t members of our community with experience in engineering, construction, architecture, historic preservation, real estate and zoning law as well as specific knowledge of the prior St. Paul studies invited to provide their input to the Board of Trustees prior to the selection of a paid consultant? What analysis was done by the Board to determine the need for community and more recreational uses for the residents of Garden City, let alone the zoning, legal and financial issues for potential adaptive reuse of St. Paul’s? See page 42

On a beautiful Saturday evening July 7th, a fairway at the Garden City Country Club was transformed into a drive-in movie. A huge screen was erected and over forty golf carts were arranged around it. Before the movie, two hundred adults and children enjoyed a buffet dinner on the back patio complete with a D.J. playing music. He also had plenty of games to play with the kids. As the sun went down, parents and children made their way across the fairway to the golf carts and some were on blankets. There was plenty of movie candy and popcorn was served to each golf cart by the club’s staff. The movie went on at 8:45 p.m. and was the animated feature “Ferdinand.”

Start the Conversation

Adelphi University uses ladybugs to control pests BY GARY SIMEONE

Welcome to a new column, “Start the Conversation,” about proactive health care planning, offering helpful tips and guidance about how to navigate care for short and long-term care needs, for all ages.

atricia Huber, RN and owner of Better Home Health Care, started her agency 30 years ago as she was growing dissatisfied with the substandard care that her parents were receiving from a local home care agency. When Pat voiced her concerns, the owner replied, “If you don’t like the care your parents are receiving find another agency.” Pat, who was teaching a home health aide program at the time, did just that and opened the doors to Better Home Health Care. Years later she hired one of her own aides to care for her husband in their home.

As our population grows and ages, it is going to need quality homecare.

Pat says, “It’s up to us to continue to bring in qualified personnel to handle the needs of this increasing population and meet the growing demands for patients wanting to stay in their homes. We have 3rd generation health care aides working for us in the field, which makes us extremely happy and proud!”

orn and raised in Rockville Centre, her business has turned into a family affair, which helps them live their business motto... there’s no place like home. “We certainly believe that is true”, says Huber. “Start the Conversation,” by visiting our offices in Rockville Centre; calling us at 516-318-6746, or emailing cdeehan@betterhomecare.com. Be proactive, get informed!

Over 36,000 ladybugs were released on the Adelphi University campus last Wednesday as part of the school’s integrated pest management program. The bugs, or technically beetles, were set free to control an ever-growing aphid population that is detrimental to the lawn, trees, and shrubs on the 75 acre campus. Bob Conaghan, associate director of facilities management at the University, said that this was the fourth week in a row that they released the ladybugs. “We release 18,000 ladybugs at a time for four weeks in a row to help control overpopulation of aphids on the campus,” said Conaghan, who also serves as manager of the grounds crew. Conaghan said he was initially skeptical of the idea of introducing ladybugs to control the aphids, thinking that they would just fly away upon release. “We first tried the idea out a few years back on a couple of trees on campus that were infested with the aphids. I was amazed at how they would come right out of the box and start crawling and flying up the trees right towards the aphids.” He said that within a couple of days of releasing the ladybugs, there were very few aphids left on the grounds of the campus. “It was proven to me that the ladybugs do work and they can be used in

an efficient and safe way to control detrimental pests such as aphids.” The ladybug release, which is done in the middle of the campus, is part of the school’s integrated pest management program. The program utilizes biological and mechanical controls and cultural practices to help rid the campus of harmful insects. The grounds crew helps to trim all of the trees on campus to keep them healthy and uses garden hoses on the smaller shrubs to rid them of pests. The crew also does an annual release of a special kind of parasitic wasp, that attacks the aphids by laying its eggs inside of them. The ladybug tactic is one of the more economical and environmentally safe ways to control the overpopulation of harmful insects. Conaghan said he spends just under $50 for a box of 18,000 ladybugs instead of purchasing harmful poisons or other products. “The last thing you want to do is put poison on a tree to control insects. It’s not a cheaper or better option and in the long run will be detrimental to the environment. This is a good lesson for homeowners too.” Conaghan said he is hopeful that over time the ladybugs will establish colonies on the campus and make it their business to help control the overabundance of the pesky aphids.

Summer is fun at Garden City Nursery School

Smiles all around for sprinkler time at camp. Summer camp is in full swing at the Garden City Nursery School. The campers are enjoying their time outdoors on the school’s spacious playgrounds, and they are happy to cool down afterward in air-conditioned classrooms. The preschoolers are happy with the varied play, especially the water activities, with bathing suits being welcome every day! They are busy exploring curriculum topics such as “Under the Sea” and “Insects and Small Land Animals.”

For the opening weeks of camp, Garden City Nursery School offered an extended day for children who had completed a four-year-old program, and it was a success. The children were invited to stay for lunch and were treated to an enrichment activity such as science, Spanish, music, or yoga in the afternoon. Business manager Jessica Dowd-Wilde says, “We received so much positive feedback from our families who participated in the extended

These are some happy campers! day. Providing the extra time to explore enrichment topics in depth proved to be an exciting part of the summer camp day.” Parent Meredith Mormile’s children have enjoyed returning to one of their favorite summer activities: “Our kids love camp at GCNS. It’s warm and welcoming, and the structured play is the perfect mix of outdoor learning, water play, art, music, and pure FUN.

The children are so free to run on the big playgrounds, soak in sunshine, get wet, and just be kids. Lots of big smiles going in and coming out!” Summer is speeding by with only a few weeks left in the GCNS Summer Program, but there are a few spots available this month so please contact the school for details at 516.481.7765 or email gcns50@gmail.com.

Renowned gemology lab to open first LI lab in Garden City BY GARY SIMEONE Ken Lejman has been in the gem appraisal business for nearly 40 years, and now the world renowned gemologist has opened his first lab on Long Island. The GEMLAB Appraisal Laboratory of America branch office, located at 1044 Franklin Avenue, will provide all of the same services as the main location in Manhattan. The 71-year-old Port Washington resident said that the reason he opened up a location in Garden City was because of the lack of appraisal services on the Island. “This location will be convenient for anyone who lives on Long Island and will serve as a main hub for those looking for gem appraisal services,” said Lejman, who opened the store in January. “We’ll provide all of the same

services as our Manhattan location, and if further testing is needed, we can send it out to the Manhattan office.” Lejman said that GEMLAB is one of the most respected gem appraisal laboratories in the world, and the company works with many high-end insurance companies, major banks, and persons and families looking for accurate analyses and valuations of their gemstones. The service is a member of almost every gemological society including the Gemological Institute of America, International Gemological Consortium and the AGTA. “We’re one of the biggest and best in the world as far as appraisals,” said Lejman. “We do everything from scientific identification to monetary value.” Lejman will be the lone employee in the Garden City location.

GARDEN CITY UPDATE Mayor@gardencityny.net We hope that you and your family are having a fun-filled summer and enjoy any vacation time with your loved ones. The Village does not shut down during summer and we hope that you stay engaged. The Board of Trustees and staff continue to work on numerous projects, including the water tower construction, street and parking lot paving projects, operating the Pool at Community Park and other matters. We also encourage you to attend Village Board of Trustees meetings. See the schedule of meetings on our website. Our next meeting is Wednesday, July 25, 2018 at 8:00 p.m.

Board appoints new Building Supt.

Giuseppe Giovanniello brings extensive experience to the position of Building Superintendent, having served most recently as Assistant Superintendent since December 2016. Prior to joining the Village, he was a Nassau County Project Manager in Design and Construction. His prior experience includes serving and overseeing County projects, as well as serving as a Building Code Official. Mr. Giovanniello holds a degree in architecture and certifications in construction and code enforcement. Former Superintendent Ausberto “Oz” Huertas, Jr. left the Village to work for the New York City Department of Buildings. He helped drive the Garden City Building Department to a more technology driven place, modernizing how we process applications and records. He has helped us comply with the requirements of our Fair Housing obligations. We are a more productive and efficient Village because of Oz’s efforts.

Forfeiture of Assets

Under New York State Civil Practice Law, certain funds received from forfeiture of assets are restricted to fund unbudgeted police expenditures. At the close of the 2017-2018 Fiscal Year, the Village had $32,961 held in Reserve. According to Commissioner Kenneth Jackson, the Department is looking to purchase

products that will enhance criminal investigations and evidence management. This program has proved beneficial in the past. Back in February, the Department entered into an agreement with NYDREF, LLC, a New York liability company, to use a web-based computer program that assists the Department in the investigation of illegal drugs. The program aids in the identification of such drugs and assists officers in determining proper charges for persons possessing drugs as well as assisting them with court preparation. The web-based program was paid for through asset forfeiture, as was equipment that also recently helped police nab a child sexual predator from California who was sending explicit and extremely threatening messages to an 11-year-old resident’s cell phone.

National Grid Cambridge Ave. work

ensure the safety and reliability of their system. Crews will be excavating at the specific locations where piping already exists and will replace/add specific fittings that will give National Grid the ability to better inspect and maintain its system. Most of the work begins in Elmont but the eastern most portion of the work (Phase I) this summer touches the western edge of Garden City in the area of Fairmount Boulevard and New Hyde Park Road; Fairmount Boulevard and Middleton Road; and Edgemere Road and Princeton Street. The Garden City portion of the work is expected to begin in late July. The Village will receive a timeline of activities and National Grid will be coordinating with the Village regarding all start times. All information will be sent to the Board of Trustees, the Property Owners’ Associations and all residents in the nexus of the work area. The “Notifications and Alerts” box on the Village website homepage will also be updated to include a menu selection for the National Grid Pipeline Integrity Project, as was done for the LIRR Third Track Project and most recently for the PSEGLI Western Transmission Project. Further, all public communications, project area maps and timelines will be published to the Village website upon receipt.

After some delays, National Grid work to rebuild a regulator station has begun on Cambridge Avenue, near Plattsdale Road. This work reinforces the current system. Crews will be replacing some equipment within the station to improve the reliability of the area. The majority of the work will be below ground within the regulator station but will take approximately two weeks to complete. The work has no impact on roads and should have little residential impact as well. There will be some testing at the location next week and all work to upgrade this underground station will be completed at the end of the month.

There will be a special Traffic Commission meeting on Wednesday, July 25, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the Village Hall Board Room.

National Grid Pipeline Integrity Project

Additional St. Paul's meeting July 26

Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi, Commissioner Ken Jackson, Fire Chief Brian Gallo and Public Works Superintendent Joseph DiFrancisco recently met with a team from National Grid to discuss a pipeline integrity project that involves the replacement of valves and fittings on existing pipeline, and performing robotic inspections. This work will begin in the coming weeks and it will

Special Traffic Commission meeting

The Village will hold a second presentation regarding proposed concept plans to create a recreational-, performance- and community-based use for the Main Building at the former St. Paul’s School on Thursday, July 26, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. at the Garden City Casino. The presentation will include current interior and exterior pictures of the Main Building, a video presentation as well as a Powerpoint presen-

tation highlighting the existing conditions at the site, the design concept and colored renderings. Experts will be in attendance to review the concept and answer resident questions.

St. Paul's comfort station renovation

As part of the Department of Recreation and Parks Capital Improvement Plan the interior of the St. Paul’s comfort station will be renovated later this fall. The scope of work includes the installation of a new quarry tile floors and walls up to four feet, electric upgrades, new partitions, vandal resistant fixtures and accessories. In addition, under our operating maintenance plan the exterior of this comfort station will be stained and painted in the next several weeks, according to Kevin Ocker, chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Cultural and Recreational Affairs.

VOC Treatment at Hilton Park Well Site

Currently Wells 15 and 16 in Hilton Park have two Granulated Active Carbon (GAC) filters that the Village leases for $30,000 a year. This project is to build an enclosed air stripping tower or a packed tower aeration system, similar to the ones that currently operate at Wells 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14. This will allow Wells 15 and 16 to function 12 months a year as they currently are shut down in the winter due to the GAC filters not being enclosed. In addition these wells contain the contaminant Freon and an air stripper (or packed tower aeration system) is more efficient in treating Freon than a GAC filter. When this project is complete, nine out of the 10 Wells in the Village will be filtered by an air stripper and all will be able to run 12 months a year.

Board of Trustees meeting

The next Board of Trustees meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 25, 2018 at 8:00 p.m. in the Village Hall Board Room. All residents are welcome to attend. The Thursday, August 9, 2018 meeting has been cancelled.

Since it’s the week of the Major League Baseball All Star Game, it might make sense to write a few words about what is shaping up as an extraordinary rivalry in the American League East between the Yanks and the Boston Red Sox. A personal note might be as good a way as any to start the discussion. In February, I passed through Las Vegas for a very brief visit after a business trip in California and visited one of the sports books. (Of course, legal sports betting has very recently expanded outside Nevada, but that’s for another column,) Among the few bets I made were a $25 even money wager on the Yankees winning at least 95 games (out of 162) this season and a similar denomination bet at 2-1 odds on the Yanks winning the American League pennant and getting into the World Series. I wasn’t sure that the 95 win wager was particularly wise, since 95-67 was a pretty lofty record (by comparison the Yanks were 91-71 in 2017). However, I thought that the wager would create a little extra interest as the season progressed. My hope was that the acquisition of Giancarlo Stanton, plus continued solid relief pitching, might be good for the four additional wins. I definitely expected that it would be well into September before my wager would be decided. Nevertheless, this bet seems quite secure. As of the break, the Yankees are 62-33, so reaching 95 wins would require a record going forward of just 33-34; thus, they will reach 95 absent a complete collapse. The irony is that it now looks like 95 wins will be not nearly enough for the Yankees or anyone else to win the Eastern Division. The Yanks’ chief rival, the Boston Red Sox, have had a remarkable season so far, currently sporting a record of 68-30, giving them a 4 ½ game lead on the Yanks, 3 games in the lost column. What this means is that it will likely take 105 and maybe even110 games to

win the division, a remarkable total, with the Red Sox having a significant head start. The outlook is thus much less rosy for my bet on the Yankees getting to the World Series. Absent winning the division, the Yanks would have to survive a one-game playoff with another wild card team, at this writing the Seattle Mariners, and anything can happen in a single game. If they do win the wild card game, the Yanks would likely have to get past the Red Sox to get into the Series. Putting aside my relatively penny-ante bets, it has been a remarkable performance on the field by two great teams in the East, the Yankees and the Red Sox. On the Yankees side, after a rough patch in April, the acquisition of Stanton has paid off handsomely, as he has 23 homers and 55 runs batted in, with a .278 batting average. Aaron Judge has had a good year with 25 homers, 60 rbi’s with an average of .272. Meanwhile, the Yanks have seen the remarkable debut of two rookies, Glaber Torres and Miguel Andujar. The starting pitching has been steady and the bullpen duo of Dellin Betances and Aroldis Chapman have been almost unhittable. However, the Red Sox, who currently have won 12 of their last 13 games, so far have been even better. The starting pitching, led by Chris Sale, David Price, Rick Porcello and Eduardo Rodriguez, each with at least 10 wins, has been very solid. Mookie Betts is hitting .359, with 23 homers and 51 rbi’s, and also 18 stolen bases. New acquisition JD Martinez has had a career year, batting .328, with 29 homers and 80 rbi’s. Xander Boegard has been excellent at shortstop. In any event, 2018 very much has the look of a memorable division rivalry year between two talented teams and it will be fun to see it play out.

Some houses in our village have very unique histories that make them stand out. This is one of them. This house is tucked away at the end of Kensington Court south of Cambridge Avenue, just east of Nassau Blvd. It was originally located on the northeast corner of Nassau Blvd. and Stewart Ave. and was a farmhouse when first built in the 1880’s. You see, when Garden City was just being developed in the 1870’s and 1880’s only a small portion of Stewart’s purchase was being developed - namely around the hotel. It was decided to make some of the barren land to the west profitable. Farms were set up and several farm houses were built. Stewart Avenue cut through these empty lands with pre-existing roads cutting north and south. One came north from Franklin Square called John Street, which later was renamed Nassau Blvd. In 1906, when the Garden City Company sold one square mile west of St. Paul’s School to a new company called the “Garden City Estates Corporation,” the farms were shut down and structures demolished or moved. This house was moved south of Cambridge Avenue as Garden City Estates was developed north of Cambridge. The house was probably utilized by Garden City Estates and a large garage was built on the south side of Cambridge near the house. Eventually the south side of Cambridge Ave. was developed and houses built and this house became part of Kensington Court. In 1919, Garden City Estates joined with Garden City as one incorporated village and this house played a very interesting role in all of it.

Joseph Leto

Joseph John Leto

Joseph John Leto, 99, a long time resident of Garden City passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his family on July 17, 2018. He was born on January 12, 1919 in New York. Friends and family are invited to visit Fairchild Sons Funeral Home, 1201 Franklin Avenue, Garden City, on July 20 from 2 - 4 p.m. and 7 - 9 p.m. A Funeral Mass will be said on July 21 at 9 a.m. at St. Bridget’s Church, 75 Post Ave., Westbury. He was married to Rita Dempsey Leto on September 21, 1946. Together they raised their family in Syosset. He graduated as the valedictorian of City College with a degree in engineering in

1948. He was a veteran of World War II and served in the U.S. Army from 1941 to 1945. He served in the Army Reserve until 1964 when he retired as a Major. He was the owner of JJL Inc. construction in New York City from 1967 to 1989. He was a longtime member and former president of the Garden City Country Club. He was a current member of the Garden City Retired Men’s Club, and a current member of North Shore UNICO, and a fierce advocate for Garden City seniors. He was instrumental in the development of the Garden City Senior Center. Joseph is preceded in death by his siblings Stephen, Anthony and Sebastian; his wife Rita Leto and his son-in-law Henry Stake. Joseph is survived by his loving sister Rose Fornario, his devoted daughters Rita, Patricia, Theresa, Frances and sons-in-law Michael and David; and his proud legacy of twelve grandchildren and eighteen great grandchildren. Joseph led a rich and active life with adventure and drive. He was an avid golfer and won a bowling tournament just weeks before his passing. Until the end he exuded optimism, humor and a charming personality. To know “Pop” was to love him. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that a donation be made in memory of Joseph Leto to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Luke Building Development Center, 1 Bungtown Road, Cold Spring Harbo NY 11724 or online at give@chsl.edu.

Joe Leto, a long-time member of the Garden City Retired Men’s Club passed away on July 17. Joe was looking forward to celebrating his 100th birthday in January 2019. He was a 20-year member of the RMC -- started in 1996, and hardly missed a meeting. He served six years as president followed by eight years (2011-the present) as a director. We remember Joe as one of the earli-

est proponents of building a new senior center -- beginning in 2007. He lobbied the Recreation Dept. and the Village Trustees and his efforts bore fruit in 2016. He also was a member of the committee which schedules various activities for the Center. Joe was one of the youngest 99-year olds we have ever known. His activities in recent years included bowling and golf. Despite his age he had a sharp mind, and showed no signs of aging. Joe will be sorely missed.

Nancy Burpee has been swimming competitively all her life. Not only against other elite swimmers, but also against a rare connective tissue disease. Then she faced her greatest challenge: lung cancer. Nancy was told she faced a choice: either major invasive surgery or wait and see if the tumor would shrink. Instead, she turned to NYU Winthrop Hospital and Dr. Laurence Spier, one of the country’s top robotic lung surgeons. Dr. Spier not only removed the tumor without removing the entire lung, he was able to “tease” her lung free from the chest wall. Nancy was amazed at the improvement in her breathing and stamina. In just three weeks, she was back in the pool, swimming faster than she had in years. Thanks to NYU Winthrop, Nancy is still competing. And in all the ways that count, she remains undefeated.

Members of Girl Scout Troop 1126 The members of Girl Scout Troop 1126 worked hard all year accumulating $100 to use towards a charity of their choice. The charity they chose for their gift was Garden City’s Friends of Music. “This charity is special to them since they are all from Garden City and they are all in someway affiliated with the arts and music programs in Garden City District,” said Nancy Davidson, one of the troop leaders. The other troop leader is Brenda Blum. The members of this hard working troop are: Abigail Benzinger, Emma Benzinger, Lauren Blum , Lauren Davidson, Rosie Donovan, Kimberly Leon, and Sashan Leon. “We so appreciate this hard earned

donation and are inspired by the girls’ generosity and dedication to their community,” said Friends of Music Co-chair Tiffany Wakeham. “This donation is so special to us because it came from these girls who want to give back to the music programs they enjoy in their schools,” said Co-chair Emily Ross. Stay tuned.... Friends of Music will be conducting an online Summer Fundraiser for needed instruments and equipment for the elementary schools.

Garden City DAR member wins National Heritage Craft Contest

Heather Zawislak (right) receives her certificate and ribbon for her first prize entry in the American Heritage Crafts Contest from New York State Regent Nancy Zwetsch at the Awards ceremony during Continental Congress in Washington DC.

Heather’s authentic WWI nurse’s uniform entry, which won the National First Prize in the category of “costume” in the NSDAR American Heritage Crafts Contest.

Heather Zawislak, a member of the Garden City based Colonel Aaron Ogden Chapter of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, was recently named the first place National Winner in the organization’s annual American Heritage Crafts Contest, in the category of “costume”. Zawislak is the daughter of Deborah and Blake McCauley of Garden City. The NSDAR is dedicated to education, patriotism and historic preservation. To that end, the contest hopes to spark interest in American crafts which were historically handmade, and which accurately represent the culture and time period. Heather chose to fashion a WWI Red Cross nurse’s outfit as her contest entry. This was a timely choice as the NSDAR is currently honoring the 100th Anniversary of WWI. The American Red Cross Nursing Service was greatly expanded during WWI. They provided the US Army and Navy with 20,000 nurses and built 54 hospitals overseas at that time. It was the first major conflict in which women had a role outside the home and contributed to the war effort. The pattern used by Heather was a reproduction of an authentic 1919 pattern, number 4319, then produced by the famous Butterick Company. The repro-

duction pattern was sourced from a company called Wearing History, which specializes in recreating historic patterns from originals. “I followed the instructions for material selection, as well as period construction techniques”, Heather recalled. She therefore produced her Red Cross uniform from 100% grey linen and 100% white cotton, and utilized 100% pure mother of pearl buttons on her work. Even the chemise, which was not visible while being displayed under the uniform, was authentically made down to its cotton lace and ribbon trim. Heather’s finely researched finished product of a WWI Red Cross nurse’s outfit won her first place in New York State in her category, and then likewise the National prize. Her award was presented to her at ceremonies during the NSDAR’s annual Continental Congress on June 19th in Washington, DC. ‘“Heather has only been a member of the DAR for about a year. We have been so impressed by her level of interest and effort. This award as a national winner was a clear recognition of the research and work she invested in this entry “, remarked Chapter Regent Leslie Dimmling. “ We are so proud to have her as a chapter member.”

From page 1 the project. The most prominent features displayed in a 36-page handout and PowerPoint presented were the conceptual designs of a first-floor level hockey arena, complete with the original pipe organ in the chapel at St. Paul’s (in need of restoration); entrance ways to the seating areas/aisles created through the original classroom doors of the former school, and plans for an upper level, 100yard synthetic turf multipurpose sports field to accommodate soccer, lacrosse, football and a running track circling it. Residents in attendance learned of the revenue-generating potential that the village’s team of consultants worked on, as Mayor Daughney says companies that operate prominent recreation and sports facilities were and will be consulted throughout this design and development process, and at least one company suggested the inclusion of a hockey rink as a driver of revenues. Trustee Minuto advised that “ice time” is high in both cost and in demand in central Nassau County, telling residents “hockey generates a lot of income for facilities.” Another aspect featured in the presentation was the re-purposing of the majestic skylight above St. Paul’s main

Proposal aired for new

entrance. Cardoso commented that the 1880’s craftsmanship with that skylight in particular, and several of the windows in the chapel of St. Paul’s, was

“stunning.” He said BBB took notice on its tours of the interior, which unfortunately could not cover floors three and floor of the building due to their unsafe,

unsanitary conditions after years of neglect and exposure to weather and birds. Cardoso detailed the history of St. Paul’s as at the turn of the 20th century

the military school was known for its football, baseball and hockey grounds. “St. Paul’s beauty on the inside starts with its stained glass skylight at the main entry as we go up. We are trying to maintain the integrity of the history in the building and the historical structure components of it...The stained glass skylight and windows will be re-purposed. A person coming in through the front entrance through the same restored main staircase with the skylight at its top -- they will circulate to the second floor and enter the ice hockey arena (accessed by floor-to ceiling glass walls and doors, according to the visuals). The rink is sunken into the building’s first floor so the seating and entry is elevated,” he said. Pews from St. Paul’s chapel are envisioned as balconies for the arena, a creative reuse of the original material. Also directly inside the front walls of St. Paul’s would be concessions stands, locker and team areas and potential Recreation offices. A second entry would be created around the back of the new arena’s building to allow access to another program or space while a hockey or ice event takes place. The facility’s size can accommodate the ice hockey arena without expansion of its sides. “The building lays out in its era of typical widequarters, 10 to 15 feet wide, classrooms on either side and the grand staircase from the first floor. This building is approximately 270 feet wide by 170 feet long; the clocktower is the top height at approximately 150 feet up and the entranceway is 90 feet high,” Cardoso said. He advised that it is a pet peeve for him as he’s against architecture that places a massive building next to an existing one and creating the visual of dwarfing the old structure. “It is completely disrespectful, and we had to study this as it is a challenge not to do that.” With the conceptual design, an arched (domed) glass roof would not raise above the front facade of St.

Paul’s throughout the length of the new Multipurpose field and the existing clock tower would main the highest point of the structure. Cardoso said the true history and the state of the St. Paul’s building is told by its interior, and he says it isn’t a doomsday scenario with the structure collapsing, but it needs to be rectified.

Cost Undetermined

As Mayor Daughney made his opening remarks to the capacity crowd, he announced that as of July’s presentations “this is a concept, there are no final numbers yet and there are no revenue projections yet either.” The mayor told attendees some models would estimate a cost between $40 to 80 million but getting to the next step, Phase II of design and processes ahead of implementation, would determine the costs. The mayor says in order to get more definitive and reliable numbers to base decisions on, Garden City must finish the concept. “We need construction plans and a cost analysis done and that’s part of the next stage...We have tried maintain interior and exterior space of the building to try and preserve history..we tried to address uses and needs we have all heard, coming from neighbors and residents over the years and some ideas not considered before. We have tried to develop the building into a facility that can generate revenue, with the goal of helping pay for the maintenance of the history we are keeping and also the new facilities and uses -- we’ve tried to balance those uses by not creating an enormous new facility that will require an enormous parking structure and lead to overwhelming traffic,” Daughney said. Revenue and income sharing arrangements with either a third party operator or to finance the facility was mentioned in Daughney’s opening comment, as he says the Board and their consultants have heard from national facility operators. “We will get input from residents throughout the process,

and we would like their input from facility operators as to what types of facilities we should include and the potential for revenue among all three buildings incorporated into the St. Paul’s campus,” he said. Mayor Daughney said residents can consult the Bond Analysis worksheet posted on the village website to get a snapshot of municipal finance options. Resident T.J. Michon, a Western Property Owners’ Association director and the president of the professional firefighters’ union in Garden City, asked about the costs involved in just researching and finalizing a potential sum for the large-scale St. Paul’s project. He saw the Board of Trustees approve $25,000 just a week ago, on July 10, allocated for the hired consulting firms to cover costs related to the summer presentations and materials they contained and delivered. That brings the total approved for Phase I, the conceptual and design process and deliver to the Board of Trustees and the village, to $125,000 spent since last October for BBB, Thornton Tomasetti as well as Eight Inc. When the Board met July 10, Deputy Mayor Theresa Trouvé also questioned the funding at this stage and what lies ahead.

National Register Status

The first challenge to the project’s viability comes from the perspective of historical preservationists, who asked what would become of the listing of St. Paul’s on the National Parks Service’s National Register of Historic Places, as aside from the original 41 A.T. Stewartera homes in the central section of the Village of Garden City, St. Paul’s is the single largest historic building here and considered an icon of the village’s founding. Brian Pinnola, past president of the Historical Society, was seated with Sarah Kautz, preservation director of nonprofit Preservation Long Island based in Cold Spring Harbor. They asked Cardoso, Trustee Minuto and Mayor Daughney if there can be any guaran-

tees or follow up with officials including the U.S. Department of the Interior which manages the National Register listing. Cardoso first said the listing would certainly remain on the Register, then he stated it was not assured given the guidelines: “probably it will stay on, maybe not” he said. He told residents with any of the project plans, tax credits for historic restoration would not be sought. Then Trustee Minuto offered the most he could, saying this potential project should not mean St. Paul’s is delisted. He said he will take a trip to Washington, D.C. when possible or necessary to speak with government officials in hopes of retaining the National Register designation. According to the National Parks Service website, National Register listing does not automatically invoke local historic district zoning or local landmark designation. The Department ensures final review and listing on the Register by a federal employee, the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places. However, “under Federal Law, the listing of a property in the National Register places no restrictions on what a non-federal owner may do with their property up to and including destruction, unless the property is involved in a project that receives Federal assistance, usually funding or licensing/permitting,” the Parks Service website stated. Pinnola spoke on July 17 about the Village of Garden City losing one of the Stewartera homes on the National Register of Historic Places, 104 Sixth Street, to demolition by its new owner in August of 2016 following an ADRB approval that May, and he said the Historical Society and its Preservation Committee here is vigilant not to lose another Garden City property, especially not St. Paul’s as it is the largest and holds significance on the National Register. “We do not want to set a precedent that being on the National Register doesn’t mean anySee page 44

in. That was the exact opposite situation for the village to face after the retirement of Filippon in the summer of 2015. Suozzi also lauded Huertas’ service to Garden City and its residents, and was thankful he had the right person in Village Hall to fill the lead role in the Building Department. “In 2015, to get to hire Mr. Huertas I interviewed 24 applicants -- 18 through the usual channels and another six reaching out online. Three years ago we spent many months searching for the new director of the Building

Department. Aside from Ozzie accomplishing the start of our digitization process with records he brought in Mr. Giovanello, who has grown up in a contractor family and has a great temperament for the job, plus experience working with Mr. Huertas here. He is ready and able to fill this position, congratulations Giuseppe and I wish you well,” Suozzi said. The trustees later approved Giovanello’s salary at $145,000, prorated, effective Monday July 9 (or upon Civil Service Approval) for the balance of the village’s official year, ending on April 1, 2019.

Giovanello and Suozzi are both Glen Cove residents. Giovanello has made many friends among residents and any persons utilizing the services of the Garden City Building Department as he’s often greeted people and sold boxes of his daughter’s Girl Scout troop cookies in the office. At the June 21 Board of Trustees’ meeting and at several other municipal meetings recently, from the ADRB to the Planning Commission, Giovanello filled in the chair Huertas had previously occupied. The village’s Building Department had recently been scrutinized by residents who received notices about open

building permits on their property and their family members’ old properties in the village in error, a topic that several POA’s discussed once the village began mailing notices about pending fines and deadlines in October 2018 for residents to close out permits. Huertas did not address the issues specifically at Board meetings this spring but the trustees were aware of errors made, and promised that each permit and any resident who approached Village Hall with a concern about notices would be addressed very quickly.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com From page 2 The Deputy Mayor deserves answers to her questions as do all the members of our community familiar with the history of St. Paul’s Main Building. Cosmo Veneziale, R.A.

A matter of trust

To the Editor: Is it at all surprising that Garden City residents might be a bit of concern about our local governance when we are surrounded on all levels by governmental incompetence? Where do you begin with idiocy on the Federal level? How can the years of MTA fiscal mismanagement be explained? Consider the billions Cuomo has wasted on failed his economic development programs in upstate NY; whatever happened to all those NY jobs commercials Cuomo used to run at our expense? And let us not forget our own debacle: St. Paul’s School; can hardly wait to see how our taxes were spent on those consultants. Can we see copies of the consultant agreements? Would like to know what their instructions were from the Board. After hearing some conversations at the pool, I do have some questions concerning the 555 Stewart project I would like the Trustees to address: Why is this in the best interest of our residents? How do we benefit from this development? Is the developer getting any tax breaks at residents’ expense? Why would the development need IDA

support if this project was economically viable? Why would any development in Garden City need IDA support? Are we an economically depressed area? Were the town houses on Franklin built with IDA support? Thomas P. Brosnan

Negative consequences

To the Editor: As a long time resident of Garden City, I agree with Mr. Donnelly that our village trustees are really dedicated. I believe that the problem is communication. The question is why would we want to give a permit to build an apartment building at 555 Stewart Ave? The consequences for us, the residents, are all negative, it will increase our school taxes and create more traffic and congestion on Stewart Ave. at the entrance to Roosevelt Field. There are plenty of apartments in the village, we do not need more. Please tell me why should we build more in such an awful location which by the way sits on a toxic site? Michele Weisburg

Remembering the TV dinner

To the Editor: July 18, 2018, marks the thirteenth anniversary of the passing of “TV” dinner inventor Mr. Gerry Thomas. His employer Swanson & Company overestimated the demand for Thanksgiving turkey in 1953. They were stuck with 260 tons of frozen turkeys. The birds were

stored for many weeks in ten refrigerated train cars which traveled back and forth on a train between Nebraska and the East Coast. The train had to be moving so the compressors which supported the refrigerators preserving the turkeys could keep working. In the early 1950’s, Gerry Thomas observed how airlines provided passengers with meals in aluminum serving trays. He modified this by adding separate sections for the main course, vegetable and potato. This resulted in the first Swanson TV Dinner. For only eighty nine cents, over twenty-five million were sold in 1954 which was the first year of production. Many were consumed by customers watching television, which was also still a relatively new invention in the 1950’s. Mr. Thomas was the marketing genius for Swanson & Company who came up with the name “TV” dinner. Growing up in the 1960’s as a teenager, my dad was a teacher during the day and a high school librarian several nights per week. On those evenings, I would have to prepare dinner for and my younger sister. When we tired of the local options such as McDonalds, Wetsons, pizza, or Chinese take-out - TV dinners were a quick solution. Selections were provided by either Swanson’s, Banquet or Morton’s. They were the big three competitors during that era. The standard choices were either chicken, turkey, roast beef or meatloaf, referred to as mystery meat. Cooking time was 30 minutes in

the oven as microwaves hadn’t yet been invented. A real treat in those days were the TV diners which provided a fourth compartment, containing a brownie for dessert. Sometimes two TV dinners were required to satisfy your appetite as the portions were never that big. Recycling was unheard of in those days as millions of aluminum TV dinner plates went straight into the garbage can. I can only imagine today how much space was taken up at the local community landfill site over the decades. The selection of TV dinners at your local supermarket today is much different from those of past generations. Besides Swanson’s, Banquet and Morton’s, there are many more competitors such as Healthy Choice, Lean Cuisine, Stouffers, Boston Market, Marie Callendar and others. Their various product lines offer far more variety and selections. Far healthier choices are available for today’s generation on the go. Even during college and post college bachelor days, TV dinners always found some space in the freezer compartment of my refrigerator. Lucky for me, my wife Wendy is a great cook and I’ve learned some skills in the kitchen myself since then. Perhaps the United States Post Office should consider issuing a stamp for Gerry Thomas and the TV dinner, still American as apple pie 65 years later. Larry Penner

Proposal aired for From page 39 thing. It is very important and proving to us it could remain on the National Register then that is very important,” Pinnola said. Meanwhile Kautz wanted to know from Cardoso about the percentage and portions of materials in and on the existing building would be “restored and/ or not radically altered.” He answered that three quarters of St. Paul’s would be intact and “restored the traditional way.” Cardoso explained that the remaining 25% would be repurposed and removed. She asked about meeting the standards of the Secretary of the Interior with the design, although she began by commending the creativity and imagination behind the plan presented on July 17. “But I do not know whether this approach is appropriate for one of the most important historic structures in America let alone this village, which is fabulous -- would this approach preserve the integrity of this building from a traditional historic preservation perspective which is according to National Register criteria?” she said. Cardoso reiterated from his presentation the status of St. Paul’s as falling apart. He asked audience members and those concerned chiefly with preservation, “If the building is restored entirely, what program would sustain that building after you restore it? You have to upkeep a restored building. I get the sensitivity and we are trying to balance this to save the building. We have seen buildings lost because time has passed by, but I understand the interest and this is our best approach given the program,” Cardoso said. Historical Preservation and adaptive reuse projects of note that BBB worked on and displayed in the July 17 presentation by Cardoso include Princeton University, Exchange Palace in Budapest, Hungary, and two New York City examples in the Prince George Hotel and the General Theological Seminary. Resident Steve Ilardi, the East POA’s vice president, said he was surprised to learn of how much of the original St. Paul’s building would be preserved with a new recreation facility. He said an article in Newsday on July 17 gave the impression that only the entranceway with magnificent skylight would be in the design. Ilardi asked about the timeframe to finish plans and specs and then build the proposed facility. Cardoso replied that there would need to be approximately 18 months more for design components, “going through all historic components and new construction” followed by another 18 months to 24 months to build the entire structure. Kautz pointed out that Preservation

Long Island, formerly the Society for Preservation of Long Island Antiquities (SPLIA) had listed St. Paul’s as one of its top Long Island endangered historic sites since 2003. Trustee Minuto and Mayor Daughney say that attention and widespread concern only came about as to that point, the village and its leadership was indecisive and could not come up with a plan for either preservation and maintenance or any re-use or function for the facility. It is now 25 years since the Village of Garden City has owned the St. Paul’s grounds and buildings, and the mayor told the largest crowd of residents he’s addressed at an event that the time has come to consider the full campus and its possible uses, including repurposing the Fieldhouse and Cluett Hall as part of the long-term plans.

Sports, recreation space redefined

One thought Mayor Daughney consistently referred to was Cluett Hall, once renovated, as a theater (film and/ or acting) and performance venue. He listened to one resident’s suggestion and spoke about the Fieldhouse having potential use for a new or different function, possibly as a swimming pool or aquatics center. Other ideas included building racquetball courts and space for senior-citizen activities and programs. A resident asked why soccer and hockey would be the primary usage for the facility due to the size of the ice arena and the top-level field. Mayor Daughney says the turf field would be a twin to the one-year-old Multipurpose Field at Community Park and have a variety of sports and activities. “What we have come up with a variety of uses of facilities to help us drive revenue that will help us pay for the building. The field will be used for lacrosse, soccer, football or baseball practice and it will have a track around it. It will have nettings inside it. And we need to consider the entire campus -- we have to upgrade Cluett Hall. We could not hold this meeting inside it because it has no A/C or insulation. It is a perfect place for dance, theatre, music or movies. This and the Fieldhouse is a collective group as a campus that gives us lots of uses,” the mayor said. Trustee Minuto also called Cluett Hall a perfect performance space “that is underutilized if it is utilized at all.” Twice a year for the past three years, each spring and fall, Cluett Hall has drawn its largest crowds from the Vinyl Revolution Record Show which lauds its opportunity for shows at the convenient, central-Long Island located St. Paul’s grounds. “This plan calls for creating a tremendous amount of usable space. As we go through the process things like performance space and program rooms, or a S.T.E.M. lab would come to life,”

Minuto said. Resident and Architectural Design Review Board member Celia Petersen said she would prefer a design eliminating the second Multipurpose field for the village and sticking to the hockey arena as it would be the expected prime revenue generator. She looked closeby to Garden City and told the mayor and trustees to consider asking Nassau County and its Parks division to see what the project cost of the ice hockey Twin Rinks facility at Eisenhower Park cost to build; how much it costs to concession-off the Twin Rinks and how much money they make from the facility. “That way from the beginning we can learn about this revenue-generating idea is viable. I would think the soccer field is a harder sell for revenue because we have so many fields, and even if it would be indoor synthetic turf which is six degrees hotter than regular turf. It will be hot in summers and uncomfortable unless it is air-conditioned -- if it’s uncomfortable then nobody will be renting it. I hope a study of the full revenue-generating potential is done early on,” she suggested to the Board of Trustees. In his presentation, Cardoso noted that the location and St. Paul’s 47 acres of land is special, central to the village its greenspaces, and it would work as a destination facility in the suburban setting.

Next Steps: In the Trustees’ hands

Residents asked about the process ahead, as Mayor Daughney was interviewed by a news camera earlier in the day and indicated that the spring of 2019 would be a target for finalizing the first stage of planning -- if and only if the Board of Trustees vote to approve the proposal. Daughney’s term as mayor comes to an end next April, but Trustee Minuto explained that the consensus of the Board’s eight members needs to be taken. The idea of distributing a community-wide online survey (such as Survey Monkey) on the concept plan was well received by Beyer Blinder Belle as Cardoso said residents’ feedback would be helpful and informative for the next design phase. “We would be getting feedback from you and what you want the programs to be, and then we could scale it accordingly. That to me and our designers is the most important,” he said. There is slim to no chance of another referendum vote for the public, similar to what took place in April 2011 with Garden City residents ultimately deciding not to issue bonds to knock down the building (and Ellis Hall). Trustee Minuto was challenged for saying that a vote put to the public “is not required” although he was stating the legal parameters for the municipality, and he offered a glimmer of hope for those who demand another recorded community

A resident asked about a focus on driving in revenue to take the burden off of Garden City taxpayers, and Minuto said that is the best case scenario. “The interest of this Board is to do this and make our decision for the community to get the project completed and have the facility in the most cost effective way possible, without a doubt, and of course that includes its ongoing maintenance and revenue stream. As the mayor mentioned there are professionals and companies that run facilities and are aggressive about booking turf time and ice time. They compete, market these facilities and promote the rental rates to a wide audience,” Trustee Minuto explained.

at St. Paul’s present-day for lacrosse tournaments. “Also consider that Garden City High School had to hold its graduation in the gym because it rained. We could host larger events like that in the new facility and accommodate a crowd, so there are many uses to consider, This presentation represents an all-in project but they can be altered, things go up and down based on budget,” he said. Mayor Daughney answered a question on the project’s large footprint and said there was another bigger version but the village has worked with its consulting firms to cut back. Resident Kathleen Sweeney asked the BBB and Thornton Tomasetti representatives if they could assist the community in the upcoming set of presenta-

tions, beginning with the Thursday July 26 event at 7 p.m. inside the Casino,and present some projects of sports and recreation facilities they have worked on “of a smaller scale and in a residential village.” Early in the evening Cardoso said “We are certainly concerned with historic preservation of the building and I think you heard tonight from many residents that we do want to go forward. But overall we are concerned with the preservation of our village. We don’t want to be the Nassau Community Coliseum or Adelphi University, we want to remain our Village of Garden City with a facility that is useful to the people here. Perhaps we can creatively finance a way to do this,” she said.

Parking: To be determined

Parking was a major component of the re-imagined St. Paul’s that is still to be determined for the design team for a Phase II plan. Trustee Minuto says the peak usage and parking, given the realistic expectations for hosting parents, spectators and program/sports attendees would be something that needs to be accommodated with designated areas, although there are many negatives for a multi-deck parking structure either above ground,considered unsightly, or below ground as too expensive, as Minuto referenced Adelphi University’s expense to build one. But he left the residents in attendance on Tuesday night with a thought: he says whatever parking could turn out to be would not be a worse situation than Garden City has

Sensational start to the Seventh Street Summer Promenade Season

The Summer Promenade season has gotten off to an exceptional start this year with perfect weather and an unprecedented number of residents and visitors coming down to Seventh Street every Friday night to enjoy outdoor din-

ing, restaurant specials, live entertainment, face painting, balloon animals, and much more. “Starting with the record crowds at the Belmont Festival to the last weeks Frank Sinatra show, the crowds and families have been ter-

rific,” says Chamber Executive Dennis Donnelly. “Mother Nature has cooperated and the staff at the Chamber has been on the mark,” says Chamber president Michael Ventre. With the highly anticipated Christmas in July and Luau Promenades coming up, we expect

large crowds in the coming weeks. The weather report says another beautiful Friday night tonight, but with rumors circulating that Santa is in Garden City today, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a little snow on Seventh Street this evening...

Talk about a party! The Promenades have been the party scene of this summer every Friday night on 7th Street.

As usual, the face painters and balloon artists handled long lines of children waiting for their turn.

With outdoor dining, the promenades provide fun for people of all ages!

Schoharie Crossing, Mabee Farm, Cohoes Falls to Finish Line in Albany of 8-Day, 400-Mile Cycle the Erie BikeTour BY KAREN RUBI TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM To see how America came to be – and what really made America great – you need only to join Parks & Trails NY’s annual eight-day, 400-mile Cycle the Erie Bike Tour from Buffalo to Albany. This becomes clear as we finish out the ride, which takes us from one of the oldest colonial trading posts, through urban neighborhoods that rose out of the Industrial Revolution, then declined in the post-Industrial period, and now are being revitalized. A highlight on Day 7 of Parks & Trails NY’s annual 8-day, 400mile Cycle the Erie biketour from Buffalo to Albany is Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site. It looks fairly innocuous at first, a farm house along the canal, but here is the only place where you can see all three alignments of the Erie Canal - the 1825 “Clinton’s Ditch”, the 1836 expanded canal and the modern, 1918 “Barge Canal.” The house, now a visitor center, contains a fascinating exhibit and is adjacent to outlines of Fort Hunter, an 18th century fort and trading post, remarkably only discovered after Hurricane Irene in 2011. The historic flooding caused the Schoharie Creek to breach its banks

Cohoes Falls, one of the most powerful falls east of the Rockies, posed a major challenge for the Erie Canal engineers © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com and destroyed the site’s parking lot. Aafter the flood water receded, a number of stone walls and numerous artifacts associated with Fort Hunter emerged. Excavations revealed flat stone foundations upon which a fort wall and 24-foot

square blockhouse would have been constructed. After the archaeological work was completed, these original fort foundations were preserved by reburying them. Their exact locations are now represented on

Continued from page D1 British occupants. Dates associated with the artifacts suggest that the blockhouse saw greatest use from the 1740s to 1760. Though you don’t really see anything of Fort Hunter, it points to how significant this area was in colonial times: Schoharie was a place of key interactions between Europeans and Indians, setting up a later clash of cultures. During the 1600s, the British and French competed for control here. In the 1690s, the British forged an alliance with

the Iroquois to establish a permanent structure - a fort/trading post - in order to solidify their standing. The Indians at the time of the Revolutionary War were settled on farms and in towns. They employed European style farming techniques, lived in houses, and the gender roles started to shift away from the matriarchal society to male-dominated, copying the Europeans. By the time of the Revolutionary War, there might have been about 10,000 Indians living in the area.

“They didn’t have a concept of property ownership. They were outnumbered early on” largely because of the diseases the Europeans brought that wiped out large numbers of the population, and over-trapping which pushed many further west. “They were very good at diplomacy - well organized - and controlled access to the waterways. They played the European powers,” David Brooks, Education Coordinator says. Most interesting at Schoharie Crossing is you can stand over the East Guard Lock - the original 1820s “Clinton Ditch” canal (now overgrown) - and see the same scene, minus water, as depicted in a historic photo. Facing the other direction, standing beside the water, you can look over to what remains of the Schoharie Creek Aqueduct, built between 1835 and 1841 for the enlarged canal. This once grand 14-arch, 624-foot long aqueduct carried the canal above and apart from the Schoharie Creek (it enabled the canal to continue to function during flooding). The aqueduct was abandoned in 1917 when the Barge Canal opened on the Mohawk River, and over the years it declined so only six of the arches remain. A short bike ride further along the trail, you can visit Yankee Hill Lock #28 and the Putman Canal Store - the last double lock that was completed in eastern New York. The Putman’s Lock Grocery was constructed in 1856 and owned by the Garrett Putman family

into the 1900s. (Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site, 129 Schoharie St., Fort Hunter, NY 12069, 518-8297516, SchoharieCrossing@parks.ny.gov). Mabee Farm The initial appeal for me to join Parks & Trails NY’s annual Cycle the Erie bike tour was the exciting prospect of biking 400 miles, point to point, mostly without cars (and mostly on a flat trail), across New York State, with support services to carry our gear and host meals. But each and every day, I am pleasantly amazed at the array of sites to explore and discover. The Parks & Trails NY people who have designed the tour not only arrange visits at important sites along the way, but for morning and afternoon rest stops at interesting attractions that you might not have considered visiting on your own. This is the case for our afternoon rest stop (at Mile 33.6), at the Mabee Farm Historic Site, which also houses the Schenectady Historical Society Museum. Here, you can visit the Mabee’s 1705 Dutch-style Stone House, which was owned by the Mabee family until 1999. This is one of the oldest homes in New York State and the oldest in the Mohawk Valley. It was first built in 1670 by Daniel Janse Van Antwerpen, who, it is believed, opened it as a furtrading post. The property was sold to Jan Pieterse Mabee in 1705 and the house stayed in the Mabee family for a remarkable 288 years. It was given

to the Schenectady County Historical Society in 1993 by George Franchere, the last descendant of the Mabee line, for the purpose of being a museum and education center. It is a surprise to most who visit these colonial sites to learn that slavery was practiced here, beginning after Jan Mabee’s death in 1725 and ended 100 years later in 1827 with Jacob Mabee, his great grandson (when New York State abolished slavery). Among the 583 original documents from the farm are three bills of sale for slaves, wills giving slaves to children and a receipt from the Crown Point Expedition in 1755 when a trusted slave, Jack, was sent to Fort Edward and Lake George with supplies, two weeks before the Battle of Lake George. “What is significant about the Mabee family is that they were ordinary,” the docent says. Jan Mabee, born in Holland, bought the property from a neighbor in 1705, and lived in the cellar as he built the house. Jan and his wife Annette had 8 kids. The house partly made out of stone; the wood beams are 1000 years old. Jan was likely involved in the illegal trapping business. His wife was part Mohawk so they had a good relationship with the local Indians. The Dutch were

tolerant and fair with the tribes (it was the British and French who cheated them). Over the years, the house was turned into the Mabee Inn. Simon Mabee farmed the land and when he died, he left everything but the Inn to his son, Jacob; he left the inn to his two sisters. It turns out that the Mabee farm is more than a history lesson, but a study of a dysfunctional family. “Jacob was not a nice man. Jacob evicted them. He hired a carpenter and flipped the staircase around so they have no way to get up to the second floor. He built a new door. The sisters lived in one room. Jacob died 6 years later and the land passed to Margaret.” Just outside the house is the family cemetery. You can visit the 1760s Nilsen Dutch Barn, see the beautiful Mohawk River flow alongside the site. Tied to the dock or parked behind the Dutch Barn is a reproduction 18th century bateaux, the De Sagar and the Bobbie G , which provides an idea of how goods were shipped up and down the river. During our visit, a country fair is underway. (Mabee Farm Historic Site, 100 Main St (Rte 5s), Rotterdam Junction, NY 12150, 518-887-5073, schenectadyhistorical. org/sites).

As I See It: When New York City was New York City BY LOU THEODORE As most of you know, I was born in New York City in 1934 and called it home until 1970. My first 7 years were spent in the north end of Hell’s Kitchen. The next 12 years were spent in an area that is known as Lincoln Center. The last 17 years of those were spent in Astoria, Queens. In effect, NYC was my home for the first 36 years of my life. This tale is the second of a 2-part article concerned with New York City during that 36 year time period. I made a conscious decision to split the “When New York City was New York City” article into two timeframes: 1934-1953 and 1953-1970. The first part appeared in August 2017; it keyed on life in Hell’s Kitchen and naturally, the material was autobiographical. Flash back to 1953 and the tale of this piece begins in Astoria, Queens – my new residence at that time. World War II is a thing of the past and a fleeting memory. The Great Depression is also a fleeting memory. Gone is the Office of Price Administration (OPA) and the accompanying rationing via coupons, and, to a lesser degree, tokens. Jobs abound. Good-paying jobs. Some really good-paying jobs. The worm had indeed

turned. Our great nation is experiencing boom economic times along with superpower status due, in part, to a combination of democracy and capitalism. Perhaps even more important was the Marshall Plan, devised by General George C. Marshall. The World War II period had converted out nation into a manufacturing giant. But, the economic boom was about to come to a halt since there weren’t enough buyers of the goods and services we could produce. Enter the aforementioned Marshall’s plan of reviving the economies of Europe and Asia in order to develop markets for our goods and services. And, guess what? It brought prosperity beyond belief to our nation for nearly 40 years. The 50s and 60s were understandably periods when it seemed that nothing could go wrong, everything was going right, and anything was possible; it was a special era. The relentless pressure of war and personal and economic sacrifices were now history. In a very real sense, it was a time of innocence. WWII was just a 2-letter Roman numeral. The Hamptons were still a rich Waspy family living on Park Avenue. Korea was also a thing of the past. The basketball point-shaving scandals didn’t apply

to my friends who I have dubbed the Boys of Killeen’s. Jack Molinas was one of the few Greeks (I thought)--he was Jewish--who had gone bad. It almost was a reincarnation of the roaring 20s--everyday brought joy, excitement, laughs, new challenges, etc. It was also a time of great friendship, good times, perhaps excessive drinking, beautiful girls and great athletes. “Eddie My Love,” a haunting melody that is still with me, was the juke box favorite over several summers. There were other tunes during that period. In addition to “Eddie My Love,” there was “Sh-Boom” (Crew Cuts) and “Earth Angel” (the Penguins). Rock ‘n’ Roll had arrived. The song “You’ll Never Walk Alone” was also bothersome at the time since I found myself walking home alone every night. Likewise was the tune “You Belong to Me” (Jo Stafford), since there was no one I could claim belonged to me. Add this to my favorite tune from the late 1940s, Russ Morgan’s “So tired” (I’ll wait forever dear). But along came the Chordettes with “Mr. Sandman” who indeed did bring me a dream--a Bayside Queen named Mary Kathleen Tonry--and my lonesome nights were over. I fortunately disregarded Damon Runyon’s advice, “fall in love with an

heiress if you must fall in love.” Here are five of my memories of that era—memories that will never leave me. They center around Killeen’s Tavern, my basketball team, Rockaway Beach and (of course) my favorite.

Killeen’s Tavern

Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a small bar named Killeen’s Tavern on a side street in Astoria, New York. The tavern’s history dates back to about 1934 (the author’s birth year). It was owned by a burly Irishman. The whole place was no bigger than 30 ft. by 15 ft., half of it designed like a half-moon bar, and the other half consisting of a few tables, a juke box, a telephone booth, a toilet that was always clogged up, and a kitchen that didn’t work. Beer was 12 cents a glass, and a shot of rye was 45 cents. The local crowd had its colorful characters. Damon Runyon would have loved this place. There was “Buster” the late night singer who crooned Sweet Leylani, Lorraine the Dancer, “Cuz” the night bartender, “Oil Pan” Tom, the landlord Pete the Russian, Freddie “Spook” Stegman--the greatest sport birddog this side of the Mississippi, and See page D6

Y O U R S O C I A L S E C U R I T Y

A Mixed Bag BY TOM MARGENAU

Usually, I like to focus my column around one topic. But today I’ll just open up my email inbox and pull out a hodgepodge of questions. Q: I am 64 years old. I plan to start my Social Security at age 66. My husband is 62 and has been getting Social Security disability benefits for several years. His benefit rate is higher than mine will be by $210. If he dies, will I get widow’s benefits or will I not qualify because he isn’t getting real Social Security? A: I think I’ve said a hundred times in this column that disability benefits are just as “real” as any other kind of Social Security. So when your husband dies, you will get widow’s benefits. Assuming you are over 66 when that happens, you will get an extra $210 in widow’s payments tacked on to your retirement benefit. Q: I am 74 years old and still working. I am in good health and plan to continue working as long as I can. And I have no intention of signing up for my Social Security until I can fully maximize by benefits. At what age will be? A: You are already well past that age. Once you reach age 70, there is no point in delaying filing for your Social Security. By that age, you have already received the maximum “delayed retirement credits” that you are due. They cap out at 32 percent at age 70. In other words, had you filed for benefits at age 70, you would have gotten 132 percent of your full retirement benefit. And if you file now at age 74, you will get the same 132 percent rate. So you should file a Social Security claim right away. You will be able to get a maximum of six months retroactive benefits. Q: I was married to my first husband for 28 years. I have been married to my second husband for 12 years. My first husband just died. Can I get widow’s benefits on his Social Security account? A: No. As long as you are married to husband No. 2, you can’t get any Social Security from No. 1. But if your marriage to No. 2 ends (through death or divorce), then you can claim widow’s benefits from your first husband -- if they pay more than what you might be due from your second husband. Q: I worked for the Union Pacific railroad for 15 years. But I spent most of my life (more than 30 years) working at jobs where I paid into Social Security. When I went to file for my Social Security retirement, the clerk told me my claim would be sent to the Railroad Retirement Board for processing. What gives? A: For those readers who don’t know, railroad workers pay into the Railroad Retirement system, not into Social

Security. But the two programs mimic each other in almost all respects -- except that railroad retirement includes a second tier of benefits that are designed to resemble a private defined pension plan. Anyone with more than 10 years of railroad service is considered vested in the railroad pension system. So your claim is shipped to the RRB so they can determine what, if any, tier-two benefits you might be due. They also make sure your Social Security claim is processed and your benefits are properly paid. Q: I am 59 and soon to turn 60. I am getting $1,850 in my own Social Security disability. My husband died unexpectedly last month. His full age 66 benefit was $2,230. I talked to someone at SSA and she told me I should file for disabled widow’s benefits because they are always higher than regular widow’s benefits. Is this true? A: Please bear in mind that I don’t know all the facts about your case. But if you were told that disabled widow’s benefits are higher than regular widow’s benefits, that’s just not true. The earliest a widow normally can get benefits is age 60. But a disabled widow can file as early as age 50. A disabled widow gets a rate equal to 71.5 percent of her husband’s full benefit. That is the same rate payable to a 60-year-old widow. 71.5 percent of your husband’s benefit is about $1,600. And that is less than you are getting in your own Social Security. So there is no point in filing for disabled widow’s benefits. But if you wait until you are 66 years old, at that point, you can switch to 100 percent of your husband’s Social Security. Q: I’m confused. My husband and I are both in our late 80s. He is in poor health and may not live much longer. I don’t know what my widow’s benefit will be. He started his Social Security when he was 64. I took mine at 62. He gets $1,850. I get $1,345. Someone told me that when he dies, I will get 100 percent of his benefit. But another person told me I will only get 92 percent. Who is right? A: Well, in a way, they both are. I know that sounds confusing, but I will explain. But first of all, let me assure you that when he dies, your own benefit will be supplemented up to 100 percent of what he was getting at the time of death. So you will keep getting your own $1,345 rate, and then you will get an extra $505 in widow’s benefits to take you up to his $1,850 level. Thus, the first answer was right. I think what the second person was trying to say was that by taking benefits at age 64, your husband is getting about 92 percent of his full benefit rate. In other words, his $1,850 check represents 92 percent of his full retirement amount. And when he dies, you will get that same 92 percent

rate. But you’re going to get 100 percent of his 92 percent rate. Does that make sense? The bottom line is that you will get an extra $505 in widow’s benefits when he dies.

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

As I See It: When New York City was New York City C ontinued from page D3

dapper George Connelly--the Sunday bartender of 30 years who many believe James Cagney had copied his mannerisms from. Then there was the day bartender--Pat Killeen himself. An impressive 6’ 1” and burly 275-lb. man with a thick Irish brogue, who, when angry, would roll his black cigar from one end of his mouth to the other. Yes, he could intimidate if necessary. But he was a fair and open-minded individual, always with the best intentions at heart. Who were the other inhabitants of the Tavern? Here are some of their names: Scratch, Buddy, Gaylord (the author), Big Dan, The Whale, Jimmy the Greek, Steve the Greek, Weegie, The Rat, Vince the Prince, The Grey Fox, The Scavenger, The Buff, The Snake, The Brat, Tuto, Tex, Superman, Buster, The Hawk, The Cool, The Phantom, The Bant, The Weedler, Big Fitz, Red, Joey Hot Dog, Sparksy, Dixie, Jake the Weightlifter (all 95 lbs. of him) Bugsy, Louie The Lob, Filthy Phil, Tony Guido, etc. The girls included Mary Gloves, Marie the Dancer … perhaps it be best to stop here. The Boys of Killeen’s were the chil-

dren of working-class parents who endured The Great Depression and survived the harsh times of that era. Although better off than their parents, the Boys of Killeen’s were a group that appreciated good times, and were not nearly as security-conscious as their parents. It was a group that ultimately went on to succeed in the workplace, no doubt influenced by their New York City and Killeen’s experiences.

The legendary Killeen’s Tavern basketball team

I’ll pass here since most of the details appeared in my book, Basketball Coaching 101 (Amazon $18).

Rockaway Beach

It was New York City’s beach of beaches during that era. It was a period when many referred to the Rockaway’s as the Irish Riviera; interestingly, Jimmy Breslin described it as “where wood rots and people waste.” There were numerous drinking establishments one block from the beach to accommodate the crowds. They included Murphy’s and Gilroy’s on 90th Street, the quartet of the Irish Circle, Rainbow Bar, Leitrim House and Mickey Carton’s Mayo House on 103rd Street (he played the accordion while his sister, Mary,

sang). Ruthie Morrissey, regularly featured at the Mayo House, captured and touched so many hearts. The Mayo House was a favorite of the senior folk but it was Gildea’s--famous for drinking, dancing and fighting--that the younger set frequented most. Further west was McNulty’s and the White House on 109th Street and 110th Street, respectively. It was also a time I earnestly became interested in girls. At Gildea’s, I remember watching, with envy, the Savoy--a dance I never quite mastered. The 108 St basketball courts? I’ll pass again since numerous details and memories are available elsewhere. Did I mention my book, Basketball Coaching 101 (Amazon--$18)?

The Queen

How many guys have married the girl of their dreams? Well, I did. We married in 1967 after a 3-year courtship. Mary recently celebrated her 51st anniversary. It was dinner with the entire family at the Limani restaurant in Roslyn.

The Fabulous Copacabana

at the Copa. George Duganis was the maître d’ and a great table was always available. The best shows included Louie Prima, Don Rickles, Joe E. Lewis, Bobby Vinton, etc. Of course, there was more: Belmont Park, Saratoga, Yonkers and Roosevelt Raceway, the Jewish Alps (the Catskills), bar-hopping, etc. Space precludes providing details. I close this out with a comment from one of my readers on the first article: “I’ll always believe that our New York City was quite special. Somehow, I think you’d agree.” Amen! n

“The great hills of the South Country they stand along the sea; and it’s there, walking in the high woods, that I would wish to be, and the men that were boys when I was a boy walking along with me” (from The South Country: Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953). Visit the author at: www.theodorenewsletter.com or on his Facebook page at Basketball Coaching 101

And, it was indeed fabulous. And, it was a time I was courting The Queen. Name the premier entertainers of that era, and The Queen and I saw them

Schoharie Crossing, Mabee Farm, Cohoes Falls to Finish Line in Albany of 8-Day, 400-Mile Cycle the Erie BikeTour C ontinued from page D5 the Lost & Found. And awards: like the most bones broken; the most crashes (5); most flat tires (4); the youngest solo peddling cyclist (8), the oldest cyclist (84). Side-splitting fun. Day 8, Schenectady to Albany, 31 Miles Our last day, the eighth of our 400mile journey which began in Buffalo, is a breeze. Just 31 miles from Niskayuna into downtown Albany where most of us have parked our cars to take the bus to Buffalo for the start of the tour. The weather is perfect – sunny, cool. The highlight of today’s ride comes at Mile 12: Cohoes Falls, one of the most powerful falls east of the Rockies which posed a major challenge for the Erie Canal engineers. Some of our riders who started in Buffalo were able to visit Niagara Falls and now are ending with Cohoes Falls, outside of Albany. What a way to bookend this journey. Just next to the falls are 19th century brick structures, built as factories that

have been repurposed to apartments. Our ride takes us onto Peebles Island State Park, Waterford, where our final rest stop of our journey is arranged at the Erie Canalway Visitor Center. During the Revolutionary War, American forces prepared defenses here to make a final stand against the British. (518-237-7000, www.eriecanalway.org). We ride through city streets - notable for the American flags that are flying - neighborhoods that have seen better days but nonetheless evoke a folksy feel of Americana. Now, we come to the Hudson River, a goal in itself. We ride along a beautiful paved trail beside the Hudson that takes us into downtown Albany, New York State’s 300-year-old capital, and finally, cross the finish line, 400 miles. You realize you haven’t just traveled 400 miles, but 400 years of American history, back to its very founding. And you understand so much better, the trajectory from colonialism and the clash of cultures with Native Americans, the transition from an agrarian economy

to the Industrial Revolution, the wave of immigration and innovation, the progressive movements that followed and precipitated the explosive changes in society: labor, Women’s Rights, abolition. Most interesting of all, is how all of these seeds still flower in contemporary culture and politics. All of this unfolds before our eyes, mile by mile. Biking adds an extra dimension to sight-seeing. It’s physical participation, an endorphin rush, an immersion. It puts you into the scene rather than merely observing – a participant, a part of the scene, rather than apart from it. The tour is meticulously planned, well organized and supported, and how we have such wonderful opportunities to meet people from around the country (36 states are represented) and around the world (travelers from a half-dozen countries are here). A gathering like this prompts such fascinating interactions as people share their backgrounds, perspectives. All of us have been so impressed by

how well organized the trip is - from the truck drivers who pick up and drop off our gear each day, to the people who set up our breakfast and dinners and the morning and afternoon rest stops, to the SAG drivers and the riders who are there to assist if we have a problem. To the lecturers, the massage therapist and bike mechanics who travel along with us like camp followers. For those who prefer not to set up their own tent (or take advantage of “indoor camping”) there is Comfy Campers, the closest thing to “glamping”. You have the luxury of having someone set up tent so it’s ready when you arrive, especially if it is raining, where you get a remarkably comfortable air mattress to put your sleeping bag on (amazing what a difference this makes), and take the tent down in the morning so you can just hit the trail again. Not to mention a fresh towel each day! Also, they set up a separate comfortable sitting area under canvas with charging stations. Those who want can also pay for coffee in the morning.

We are told that the finish line right at the Albany visitor center closes at 2 pm; UPS is on hand for those who need to ship their bikes home; a shower is made available nearby at the North YMCA; the municipal parking lot where

enlightenment. It’s no wonder that so many of us (myself included) have done it multiple times. (On this trip, the oldest cyclist, 84 years old, has done the tour 12 times.) As we publish the final feature of this

East Guard Lock - the original 1820s “Clinton Ditch” canal – at Schoharie Crossing State Historic State © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com

Historic photo of the lock at Schoharie Crossing © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com many of us have parked our car is just next door; our luggage is deposited in the parking lot behind the visitor center for us to claim; some of us will take the shuttle bus back to Buffalo. This has been one of the best, most memorable trips I have ever taken because the end-to-end Cycle the Erie ride hits on all cylinders: physically active and challenging so you feel you have really accomplished something at the end; communal - being with like-minded people from all over the country and the world, rich in heritage, scenic, affording real exploration and

series, more than 700 cyclists aged 6 to 82 from 37 states and several Canadian provinces, as well as Australia and the United Kingdom, have just departed from Buffalo on Parks & Trails New York’s 20th annual Cycle the Erie Canal bike tour in celebration of the Erie Canal Bicentennial and Barge Canal Centennial. The 400-mile journey along the legendary Erie Canal ends in Albany on July 15. You can also follow the adventure on Facebook (www.facebook. com/parksandtrailsny), Twitter (twitter.com/ptny), and Instagram (www.instagram.com/parkstrailsny/).

For more information on Cycle the Erie Canal, contact Parks & Trails New York at 518-434-1583 or visit www.ptny. org, www.ptny.org/canaltour. You can do the trip on your own (you can download the route and do it all, or do segments as you like; detailed info and interactive map is at the ptny.org site (www.ptny.org/ bikecanal), including suggested lodgings) or take one of the supporteded bike tours that are for groups or selfguided (Wilderness Voyageurs, Classic Adventures, SeniorCycling, Erie Canal Bike Tours), but there is something very special about camping out with hundreds of other people that adds an extra dimension to the experience (not to mention the cost is about one-half to one-third, all the special events and experiences that are organized for us, and supports the advocacy work of the organization). A novel way to do it is by houseboat through companies like Mid-Lakes Navigation Co., Ltd. (11 Jordan St., PO Box 61, Skaneateles, NY 13152, 315-6858500, 800-545-4318, info@midlakesnav. com,www.midlakesnav.com, and take a bike onboard, providing a unique experience. (Be aware: they pull the

plug on the Erie Canal - actually drain the water - from November through April). The entire Erie Canal corridor has been designated the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor, Waterford, NY 12188, 518-237-7000, www. eriecanalway.org. More information about traveling on the Erie Canal is available from New York State Canal Corporation, www. canals.ny.gov. _____________________________ © 2018 Travel Features Syndicate, a division of Workstyles, Inc.

“The Keith” Caddie Tournament celebrates its 10th year

The 2017 winner, Kyle Ritchie, at Garden City Country Club with Dr. John and Mary Lou Cerrato

The Tenth Annual Keith R. Cerrato Golf Tournament (“The Keith”) will be held on Monday, August 13th, at the Cherry Valley Club. The tournament, which was established to honor Keith Cerrato who was tragically killed twelve years ago, has become a tradition at Cherry Valley where he was a caddie for many years. According to the tournament director, Bill Goldschein, “To honor Keith’s memory and his tireless work ethic, the tournament is only open to caddies. It’s hard to believe that this will be our tenth year and over 1000 caddie rounds will have been played in this event.” The reason “The Keith” is such a unique tournament is because the golfers are the caddies. They do not pay a penny to participate in a day that includes practice range, lunch, dinner, round of golf, golf cart, golfer’s gift, and awards. It is a day they have a chance to have the pro, members and staff wait on them. To show an appreciation to all hard working caddies, the participants in “The Keith” can be sponsored by their clubs and/or members for $150 per golfer. If you are not affiliated with a club and wish to contribute, you can

forward a check to Ed Kelly, Cherry Valley Club, 23 Rockaway Avenue, Garden City, NY 11530. The committee will assign a caddie for you so that they can enjoy this special day. “Our family is so grateful to Ed Kelly, CVC Golf Pro, for creating this tournament in Keith’s honor. CVC has supported our cause for 10 years because Keith was one of theirs! He loved this club and they have returned their love to him every year with this special day. We cannot help our son anymore, but we can help other sons and daughters”, said John Cerrato, Keith’s dad. All net proceeds go to two scholarship funds for students in need at Hofstra University and Chaminade High School (Keith’s alma maters). Over the past 10 years, 50 scholarships have been awarded. Please make all checks payable to Keith Cerrato Charitable Fund Inc. For more information you can check out the website at www. keithcaddietournament.com or contact Ed Kelly, Cherry Valley Club at 516746-4420, ekelly@cherryvalleyclub. com or Mary Lou Cerrato, 516-456-3384, mloucer@aol.com

Another win for Garden City “A” Swim!

The Garden City “A” Swim Team has had a strong start to its 2018 season! After locking down its first win last Saturday, the “A” team hosted the always-challenging Long Beach at the GC Pool this past Monday. After some very close and exciting races, the “A” team was able to capture its second win of the season, with a final score of 222-104. Coaches Andrew Salecker, Matt Giordano, and Caitlin Powderly are

very proud of all the hard work and dedication the swimmers have displayed thus far. And a special congratulations to senior Jake Newmark who broke the Nassau Municipal Swim Conference 13-16 Boys 100 Yard Backstroke record with a time of 54.30! Tomorrow the “A” team travels to Valley Stream and will attempt to capture its 20th consecutive win in what should prove to be one of their closest meets of the season. GO GC!!!

Garden City students win “There Ought to be a Law” contest Several local students recently won NY State Senator Kemp Hannon’s 2018 “There Ought to be a Law” contest. The contest honors ideas for new laws, as conceived by local fifth and sixth-grade students from schools in Hannon’s Senate district. At Levittown Hall in Hicksville, the first place winners from each school were presented with a citation from Hannon. Local winners included:

Sara DaSilva with Senator Kemp Hannon

Sara DaSilva St. Joseph’s School Sara’s proposed law reads as follows: “There should be a law to stop bullying. The law should be called ‘The Law of Respect and Human Acceptance.’ It would make it illegal to offend or discriminate people based on their race, religion, gender, nationality, and social status. The law encourages individuals to respect one another with the purpose to create a society of respect and unity. As a result of a united society, people

have a greater chance of living in peace and harmony.” Hunter Maguire Stratford School Hunter’s proposed law reads as follows: “Manufacturers should have to pay a fee to produce and use non-recyclable packaging. Not recycling hurts the environment, and also adds to the problem of growing landfills. With this law, manufacturers would have an incentive to use recyclable packaging and materials. If they continue to use

Hunter Maguire with Senator Kemp Hannon

non-recyclable packaging, the money can be used for a good cause, such as turning old dumps and landfills into new parks and wildlife sanctuaries.” Silvana Scalise Garden City Middle School Silvana’s proposed law reads as follows: “There should be a law to add a class, ‘Home and Careers,’ for elementary grades 4 and 5 to help prepare students for life to learn how to cook, sew, apply for jobs, etc.”

Silvana Scalise with Senator Kemp Hannon

Garden City rider to help raise GC brothers play for Wake Forest funds for cancer research On August 4th and 5th, Kurt Ferguson of Garden City will cycle up to 192 miles in the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) with the goal of topping last year’s record-breaking gift and raising $52 million for critical cancer research and patient care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. During PMC weekend, over 6,300 cyclists from more than 40 states and 10 countries will gather in Massachusetts to participate in the PMC. Riders include everyone from seasoned triathletes to weekend warriors and range in age from 13 to 85. Many ride to honor a family member or friend lost to, or being treated for cancer, and more than 850 riders and volunteers are cancer survivors or current patients themselves, and considered Living Proof® of the PMC mission. Designed to cater to all levels of cycling and fundraising ability, the PMC offers 12 different routes, each varying in mileage and difficulty, that pass through 46 towns across the Commonwealth, with starting lines in Sturbridge, Wellesley and Bourne. Cyclists are

required to raise between $600 and $8,000, depending on the chosen route, though the average cyclist raises more than $7,000, which exemplifies the spirit of the PMC and its riders. Volunteers, spectators, donors, and sponsors are also part of the camaraderie on ride weekend, all working together in hopes of one day eradicating cancer. The PMC donates 100 percent of every rider-raised dollar directly to Dana-Farber through the its fundraising arm, the Jimmy Fund, and is the institute’s largest single contributor, raising more than 53 percent of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue. In 2017, the PMC gave a record gift of $51 million to DanaFarber, bringing its 38-year contribution to a total of more than $598 million since its inception in 1980. The PMC is presented by the Red Sox Foundation® and New Balance®. To make a financial contribution to a rider from your town or become a virtual rider, visit www.pmc.org, or call (800) WE-CYCLE.
